    2015 Tacoma - looks expedition ready

    https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml/cto/d/pitt-meadows-2015-toyota-tacoma/6914330308.html This looks very interesting although I have to admit I know next to nothing about Tacomas (I'm more of a Jeep guy). I would think this should be a steal for someone from south of the border (CAD 33k = US...

    About mounting the spare on top of the main box - I placed it over the bolted attachment point at the front of the top surface and strapped it with SB provided ratcheting straps (across to both sides of the trailer). I can attest to this method as I drove like that 5k miles and it have not...

    The box is from frontierplay.com, I think 42 inch ( their biggest size). Propane tank is 10 lbs size, have to be careful getting a matching mount for it as they come in different shapes. I can look up the exact model # if anyone is interested.

    I found this box very useful- we usually just carry food and drinks not requiring refrigeration in it but because of the size a lot of other items will fit in it too. Fits almost perfectly in the space behind the tongue box and the top forms large surface to which could attach even more stuff. ;)

    Another Smittybilt Scout Trailer Build......or is it?

    Hi and congrats on a new trailer. Did you weigh the tongue before and after your jerry cans are full of fuel/water? My tongue weight (empty) was 375 lbs, had to install rear air bags on the jeep; either way it's pushing the factory recommendations. I've been trying to keep all my fluids closer...

    Constant power was attached to brakes (axillary power); sorry, don't remember the colors but check the standard diagram online, open the plug and compare the connections. 5 minute job to avoid huge headache.

    Yup, my trailer was assembled about the same time as yours (middle of 2017) and had brake controller and small battery missing as well - got these quickly for free from the dealer. A word of warning if you did not tow your trailer yet - my trailer power plug had some wires reversed and first...

    I’m using Max Coupler with ball mount with a 7 inch rise. My Rubicon is on standard wheels with no lift and when I compared mounting position of the Jeep and trailer it came up to about 7 inch difference. I recently drove 7000 km with the trailer and no major issues. Prior to the trip I put an...

    Thanks for the comments. Box on the side is actually a Jeep box that should go behind the back seats of a two door. Not too many of them left out there and is not cheap but I liked the shape of it with the slanted front. The drawback is it only fits on one side of the trailer but I keep my fuel...

    Finally I was able to upload some pics. I thought my Jeep was special until I got to Moab - every vehicle in this town is a Jeep or some other off-roader. My eyes are popping 勞

    Leaving Salt Lake City, we’ll in Moab tonight. Stayed at Antelope Island, beautiful place but treated us with snow storm on arrival. Did not expect to have to use my winter camping skills on this trip. Setting up SB tent in blowing snow was interesting but we managed fairly quickly. Have bunch...

    Thanks, we’ll definitely check the trails - I don’t know if I can keep myself on the bike with that much drop lurking to the side... I do that on skis in Whistler and the surrounding area but snow is a bit more forgiving than dirt. Yeah, that reminds me - I’m giving up quite a good skiing for...

    Thanks so much Erling That’s plenty of useful info. Weather here is actually getting pretty comfy, I’m afraid we will be getting into some shivering temps on our drive for at least the first few days. Coming from Vancouver, B.C., the plan is to get to Salt Lake City asap and stay at Antelope...

    So far ok I wish it would be bigger but I like it to be accessible from side as I carry bikes on the back of the trailer so it has to suffice ? I paid more for mine so it sounds like a great deal I’m leaving for Arizona and Utah this weekend- never been there before, any of you guys from that...

    Interesting... My trailer came with no holes in the side walls of the tray, maybe they re-designed it since. I have SB Arctic fridge, like you said it fits right in, I only had to drill another hole for the pin to secure the slide out. Manual for the fridge says something about 4 inches of...

    Hi there I see you have adopted the generator drawer to use for the fridge ( I did the same) - did you drill all the holes in the back of the tray for ventilation or were they there when you bought it? I had to drill in mine hoping the fridge will not overheat in this space Thanks, Richard

    You will need spacers. Two months ago when I talked to SB about it they claimed to be planning on selling their own spacers to fit this application. I vaguely remember that the spacers have to be hub centric and min 2 inch thick Good luck
